Thanks everyone!!!!!

I'm not flaming away because I agree with you 100%. Not that breast cancer isn't a worthy cause - it certainly is. Look at what has been done with early detection, new meds and treatments, etc. HOWEVER, I would love to see that much attention shown toward childhood cancers, lung cancer, etc. Heck, my Mom was already at a late stage (IIIc) when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. They really need to find a way to diagnose it better - My mom kept ignoring her "gas pains" because that's exactly what she thought it was. She had no clue about signs for ovarian cancer. Maybe if it had bee

That might be the one. Thank you!

Can anyone please tell me where the Park & Ride is on Hwy. 61? My son has to be there Wednesday morning and I have no idea where it is. What is it close to? Thanks!!!

Still ending at Hiram Elementary? Dumb question - I guess it will end there since the paper said to pick the kids up there! Duh! Nevermind.

My son is in JROTC at Hiram and brought home a paper saying they have to be dropped off at the Hiram police station and picked up at Hiram Elementary. Sounds like the same route they had last year - through the town of Hiram - not on 92.

hi-jack - They are called "cotter pins", not "carter pins". Sorry, it was driving me crazy. - end hi-jack

My mom was 42 when my youngest sister was born. Her other kids were 15, 14, 11, 8 and 6. My oldest sister, the 14 yo, was embarrassed and mad that my mom was having a baby at 42. She was not thrilled and we have pictures of her holding my youngest sister the day she came home from the hospital - the baby's legs were dangling down and she was barely holding on to her and had a very crabby look on her face! She got over it after about a week. They are 53 and 39 now and as close as can be. Your daughter might surprise you. Maybe she was just showing off and trying to act cool with her frie

That was my dream, too. So, six years ago I took classes. I love stained glass and it's not that hard to do! It can be an expensive hobby, though! I have always wanted to play banjo - problem is I can't read music (even though I sang in Jr. High, High School and 1/2 semester of Jr. college choir - I have a good ear!) I can sew like crazy, as my ambition in high school was to become a home-ec teacher. Everyone made fun of me so I never did it. But I took every home-ec related class my school offered, even a class on how to make your own sewing patterns. I used to sew all the time b

Does anyone know approximately what time this happened Monday evening? It must have been dark out for someone to not know they hit a person, but it seems like they would have feld/heard it at the very least. There seems to be more foot traffic in the Brownsville Rd./92 area the past few years. My son often walks on Sweetwater Church Road and I hate when he does it. I remember when Joe Bell got killed on 120. We lived on Whitlock at the time and I felt so bad for his family. Wasn't he hit real close to the subdivision he lived in? I can't imagine what the family of this girl is

So sad!

I love the way your dog is looking back over his shoulder in the picture as if to say "You're joking, right?!"

My son goes to HHS but this is the first I'm hearing about it. I wonder why it wasn't on the news. I'll ask him tonight if he has heard any announcements at school.

YEP! There's Crissy!!! I loved the box she came in, too. The handle was cool because it was made out of yarn and when you bought clothes for her and Velvet, the clothes came in a box with a yarn-like handle, too. I thought that was soooo cool! Of course, I was only 8 so it didn't take much to impress me then!!

Anyone remember the Drowsy doll? She had a soft body and hard plastic head and hands. She had sleepy looking eyes and when you pulled the string on her back, she said stuff like "I'm sleepy" and "Night-night". I had two of them. The box she came in made a cardboard cradle for her. I carried all of my baby dolls by the hair for some reason and the one Drowsy doll I kept has no hair except for a few sprigs on the very top of her head. She rests comfortably in my cedar chest next to Crissy.

My sister, Valerie, could make her Weebles lay down! We could never figure out how she did it though!!

My favorite was my Crissy doll. She had long red hair and a button on her back that made her hair short or long, depending on which way you turned the button. She came wearing an organge dress and shoes and I think that's why I wanted that doll so badly - orange is my favorite color! She is in my cedar chest as we speak. My sister had Velvet, who was smaller with blonde hair that "grew" long or short, too. I also loved my doll that came in a little rose scented perfume bottle and she was dressed in a frilly red dress and had red hair. SHe was very small. I had another one that came in an o

I believe we will be heading in the same direction with my son. He makes A's and B's in all of his classes but has a very hard time with any test and has NEVER passed a standardized test (CRCT, EOCT). He is almost ready to stroke out over the writing test tomorrow. He writes the exact same type of paper for JROTC every other week and makes 99's and 95's on all of them, but it's a "major test" so who knows what he will do on it. Anyway, I'm afraid he won't walk at graduation. We didn't have to do tests like that back in 1981 (in IL). We had to pass a constitution test our sophomore year an

Thanks for the recipe! It will on our dinner menu for next week.

Dr. McLendon used to be at Marietta OB/GYN Affiliates. He was my very favorite doctor of all of them. I loved him. I vote for Harold McLendon.

Same here. We have had it since we moved to Paulding in 1993 (although I don't think it was called Comcast then - can't remember). Anyway, no problems with them or the service and any time we had a question or an issue with the cable box, it was always handled right away. No problem with services calls or the people who came out, either.

Thanks for the info. I wound up taking a course on 09/18 with the Douglas County Board of Commissioners. It was only $25. They weren't having another adult class until after Christmas so I wound up in a class for teenagers. It was fun and I was the only old lady there. I thought after 31 years of driving, I knew "everything" but I learned a few things in that class Saturday. So, if anyone ever needs an inexpensive class for insurance reduction, that's a good one to take.

Split pea soup with ham and plenty of freshly ground pepper! Mmmmmmmm.....

My problem is the parking in our subdivision. We have narrow streets and most of the people in our subdivision think it's OK to park at the curb. We all have fairly long driveways. I could probably park 6 to 8 cars on my driveway with no problem. But these people all have at least one or two cars parked at the curb while nothing is parked on their driveway. It makes it hard to drive down the street sometimes and impossible for two cars to drive past the parked car at the same time. But, that's my only complaint. (OK, that and the trash the kids throw down when they walk around) We really

I can't seem to make sense out of any sport. My husband has tried to explain football to me but I just don't "get" it. I went to a St. Louis Cardinal baseball game once (and ONLY once) and was almost thrown out of the stadium for asking my brother-in-law when half time was supposed to start. I hate sports!
